The Pfeiffer Vacuum parameter set
7.1
General
All function-relevant variables of a turbopump are anchored in the electronic drive unit as
parameters. Each parameter has a three-digit number and a designation. Parameters
can be used via Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control units or via RS-485 with the Pfeiffer
Vacuum protocol.
7.1.1
Conventions
Parameters are displayed in square brackets as a three-digit number in bold font. The
designation may also be stated if necessary.

Operation with DCU
Additional parameters in the control unit
For the control of connected external components (e.g. vacuum measurement devices)
there are additional parameters fixed in the respective Pfeiffer Vacuum display and con-
trol unit.
Please consider the respective operating instructions.
Profibus and Pfeiffer Vacuum parameters
All Pfeiffer Vacuum parameters of data type 0, 1, 2 and 7 can be used for the parameter
channel (PPO1) and the parameterization data.
Avoid conflicts with existing functions in the modules.

used after resetting of the mains supply.
Parameter set and Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control unit
Pfeiffer Vacuum display and control units DCU show the basic parameter set by default.
Furthermore the DCU contains parameters, which are not positioned in the electronic
drive unit.
